Feasibility study of carbon nanofibre production from water soluble lignin by electrospinning

Bioz Agri开发了一种从木制品中提取高纯度木质素的工艺。认为Bioz农业木质素（BAL）可能是一种很好的候选碳纤维原料。然而，BAL产品开发人员必须克服纤维形成带来的几个挑战。英属哥伦比亚大学（UBC）在先进材料和工艺工程实验室（AFML）拥有广泛的静电纺丝设备。通过将UBC AFML员工的专业知识与纳米纤维加工设备相结合，我们可以缩短设计周期并提高创新水平。在这个项目中，我们建议将Bioz Agri的生物精炼技术与UBC AFML在纤维材料方面的专业知识和能力相结合，探索木质素作为碳纤维生产原料的可行性

Bioz Agri has developed a process for extracting high purity lignin from wood products. It is felt that the Bioz Agri Lignin (BAL) may be a good candidate feedstock for the formation of carbon fibres. However, there are several challenges posed by the fibre formation that the BAL product developers must overcome. The University of British Columbia (UBC) has a wide range of electrospinning facilities in Advanced Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory (AFML). By combining the expertise of UBC AFML staff and nanofibre processing facility we can reduce the design cycle time and improve the level of innovation. In this program, we propose to combine Bioz Agri's bio-refinery technology with the know-how and capabilities in fibrous materials in AFML at UBC to explore the feasibility of lignin as a raw material for carbon fibre production
